You can still catch most of your favorite Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies classics on the Cartoon Network and elsewhere; many have been in heavy syndication for a half-century.

Many strategies in computer vision assume the existence of general purpose models that can be used to characterize a scene or environment at various levels of abstraction. The usual assumptions are that a selected model is competent to describe a particular attribute and that the parameters of this model can be estimated by interpreting the input data in an appropriate manner (e.g., location of lines and edges, segmentation into parts or regions, etc.). This paper considers the problem of how to determine when those assumptions break down. The traditional approach is to use statistical misfit measures based on an assumed sensor noise model. The problem is that correct operation often depends critically on the correctness of the noise model. Instead, we show how this can be accomplished with a minimum of a priori knowledge and within the framework of an active approach which builds a description of environment structure and noise over several viewpoints

text: "Why does the public expect entertainers to behave better than everybody else?" comedian CHRIS ROCK writes in his 1997 memoir, Rock This! "It's ridiculous. ... Of course, this is just for black entertainers. You don't see anyone telling Jerry Seinfeld he's a good role model. Because everyone expects whites to behave themselves. ... Nowadays, you've got to be an entertainer and a leader. It's too much." Yet Rock could easily be called a leader; he places the black experience in compelling and hilarious context with brutal honesty and cutting wit. It's a shame that the actor, writer, director and creator of the TV series "Everybody Hates Chris" isn't even more successful. (He's already been ranked the No. 5 stand-up comedian of all time by Comedy Central.)

Call of Duty: Ghosts (Xbox One)
The latest instalment in the Call of Duty franchise isn't very silent, but it's just as deadly
- Riley the dog is a welcome addition
- The multiplayer is as balanced and feature-laden as always
- The single player campaign story is mostly forgettable
- Game runs at 720p resolution on Xbox One
Bottom Line
The single player campaign in Call of Duty: Ghosts does not do anything radically different from its predecessor, almost to a fault. Even so, it delivers enough action and excitement in multiplayer mode to keep you entertained.
Price$ 79.00 (AUD)
Best Deals (Selling at 2 stores)
This year's Call of Duty is neither a return to Vietnam with the Black Ops series, nor a return to the fierce battlegrounds of Modern Warfare. It is also not a return to the World War II setting initially popularised by the series. Instead, Call of Duty: Ghosts attempts to take the first person shooter series in a new direction.
Enter the ghosts
Call of Duty: Ghosts is similar to the Modern Warfare games in that it is features a modern day setting. The story revolves around a group known as the Federation, who carry out a terrorist attack that lead to it becoming a global superpower. To deal with this growing threat, an elite team of warriors known as the Ghosts, which you are a member of, are sent in to deal with the Federation before things deteriorate further.
The Call of Duty series carved out a sizable place for itself in the video game space by featuring frantic first person shooter action infused with impressive set pieces populated by over-the-top activity and pyrotechnics. Through this recipe, every new title in the series has attempted to be more epic and bombastic than the last, and Call of Duty: Ghosts tries to raise the notch further.
The new addition to this year's instalment is Riley the attack dog. Past Call of Duty games have attempted to break up the on-field combat with bombing runs with planes, but in this game you take control of an attack dog and sneak through battlefields in lieu of engaging in a direct fire fight.
There is a tendency for side quests such as this to be tedious in some games, but Call of Duty: Ghosts manages to get it right by ensuring that the sneaking missions do not drag on for too long. In addition to ensuring that Riley can be controlled with relative ease, significant effort has been put into animating the dog to make it look and feel more like an animal and less as an animatronic.
More of the same
From technical standpoint, Call of Duty: Ghosts is a solid game featuring impressive graphics and audio that the series is renowned for. Levels are packed with detail and activity, and the entire experience runs at a smooth frame rate on Xbox One.
Compared to last year's Call of Duty: Black Ops II for the Xbox 360, Call of Duty: Ghosts on Xbox One comes with a significant improvement in the geometry, textures and character models. However, the downside is that the game is only rendered at 720p, so it doesn't quite have the visual crispness that can be found in the PC and PlayStation 4 editions running at 1080p.
The last few Call of Duty games may have upped the ante when it comes to environments and gunplay, but somewhere along the line storytelling and characterisation were left behind. After completing the single-player campaign of Call of Duty: Ghosts, we only had the faintest idea of what had transpired during the story and who the main characters were.
Call of Duty: Ghosts contains exposition in the form of cut scenes between missions, and chatter during gameplay, but it often descends into one sided conversations laden with military terminology and code words. Not only does this make it difficult to understand what's going on, but you end up not caring for the characters and the narrative.
This is not an issue limited to Call of Duty: Ghosts, but is levelled at the entire series. At least with the World War II games, there was historical context behind the settings and the factions you played as, but fictional settings such as here and in Battlefield 4 do not have this type of backdrop.
As a result, the single-player campaign may end up being disposable for most players, which has often been the case for past games in the series. Fortunately, Call of Duty: Ghosts comes with a robust multiplayer mode that will provide hours of enjoyment against other online players.

Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

What's this? A Drawing done of my favorite Tumblr blogs? Who might these wonderful ponies be? (In order from bottom to top)
1. http://justplumsweet.tumblr.com/
A wonderfully sweet pony who runs a local fro-yo shoppe called the Sweet Hog. Run by a person who is wonderfully blessed with a gift for adorable art. (Also it's her 1 year birthday!)
A crazy (but completely lovable) pony who loves his Jacky and loves to hug as well. An amazing artist to boot.
For the BEARRRRRRRRDsSSssSssssss. Also, the macho art style always has me looking at things in a new light. Like, What if that mare…LOOKED LIKE A STALLION!?!?
Mah favoritest person in the whole Tumblr world right here. This is the guy who inspired me to finally take up a pencil and make Horrible crude drawings of ponies (lol, how do I proportion) . I love you Skyly.
5. http://ask-wiggles.tumblr.com/
Oh Wiggles, how did you get here? Probably the inseperable bond between you and Skyly. And your humorousness and awesomeness. And your Sombra stuff is awesome.
6. Last and definitely not least, http://tantamount-time-turner.tumblr.com/
A cutesy-wootsy story blog about the Doctor, but with a twist! The mod is a lovable person, but a bit shy. I love the artwork and the story line that he has.
I recommend you follow them if you don't already. Highly so.

Mo Farah: How growing up in poverty pushed me to become an Olympic champion
"I think that gave me a massive boost," said the Team GB runner. "It made me realise in life, you have to work for it"
"I think that gave me a massive boost," said the Team GB runner. "It made me realise in life, you have to work for it"
So if systematic state-sponsored doping is not a good enough reason to sling a nation out of the Olympic Games, then why should anyone care what goes on in Rio next month?"
So another blueprint is shredded. After the disastrous defeat by Iceland at Euro 2016, England are ripping it up and starting again. Again."
This IOC decision leaves us with utter chaos and, quite possibly, irreparable damage to the credibility of what was once the greatest show on earth"
To suggest they will implode if Mahrez and anyone else follows Kante out of the door this summer is insulting to the remarkable job Ranieri has done"
It is as clear as day to the rest of us what Wenger's squad needs, yet he is so stubborn with the Emirates cheque book"
No England boss has come with such an unimpressive CV – no major trophies, no Champions League involvement and precious little joy or affection"
He's bound to divide opinion, but for experience, pedigree and passion Big Sam was the ONLY choice if the FA wanted an Englishman as England manager"
Fears are growing their old mistakes may happen again — that they'll fail to strengthen where they need it most and be left behind in another title race"
As he squeezed into his seat in the dug-out at Hartlepool last night, the stadium DJ played Three Lions — England was calling from all directions"
Those big-money signings with ace YouTube back catalogues don't always work, as Liverpool and Man United have found to their cost many times recently"
Respected not adored at Bayern, he can already feel the love at Man City — just as he did when masterminding Barcelona's astonishing success"
It's the saddest transfer of the summer (for non-Chelsea fans), the moment we romantics who revelled in Leicester's title win were dreading"
The underdog nicknamed 'Beef' was the people's champion at Royal Troon – and we should thank him for doing golf a huge favour"
This was one of sport's greatest head-to-heads as two world-class players pushed each other to almost super-human deeds"
Kell's facing a machine in gloves. He admits everything must be spot-on if he is to have any chance — and even then, history says it won't be enough"
He just keeps getting better and better — and he fully deserves to be a part of history with his name on the Lord's honours board"
Maybe the FA sat through Sunday's dire European Championship final and realised that boring people to death is the new Total Football"
The punishment for spot-fixing and match-fixing is not anywhere near harsh enough — he is a lucky, lucky boy to be back playing at Lord's"

Stories From Around Kenya
The Tsavo East Rhino Sanctuary
International Best Practices and Standards Training Workshop
I Am A Giant, Give Me Some Space
During those days of yore, the gentle giants, the African Elephants (Loxodonta africana africana) who cover between 10-50 miles a day depending on availability of food, water and whether their chubby babies accompany them, roamed the savannah with no single care in the world. The adult male African Savannah Elephant weighing up to 5.5 tones especially do not have any known natural predator.
Poaching of elephants for ivory, which fuels illegal wildlife trade in addition to habitat loss due to man made and climatic change, remain the biggest challenge to the survival of the African elephants. Concerted efforts on the need to strike a balance between the need for development and conservation need to be constantly made.
Transforming Disability Into Ability In Conservation
One of the most amazing groups we are supporting is the Kenya Union of the Blind-Kwale chapter. Working with this particular group initially presented new challenges for us, but we have fast come to learn that, with a bit of creativity, disability easily transforms into ability in conservation.
African member states at the 4th Annual East Africa Timber Trade Stakeholders' forum, last week agreed to establish a Secretariat to oversee the effective implementation of the Zanzibar Declaration And Bi-Lateral Timber Trade Agreements, with Zambia also becoming a signatory.
WWF Kenya Hosts the 4th East Africa Timber Forum
This forum hosted by WWF Kenya and Kenya Forest Service (KFS) was a build on the commitments made in the Zanzibar Declaration on Illegal Trade in Timber and Forest Products that was finalized and signed in September last year at the XIV World Forestry Congress in Durban, South Africa.
During the two day meeting, Forest Directors and Officers, regional agencies, relevant law enforcement officials and members of civil society met to exchange knowledge while developing and reinforcing partnerships.

Elephants play a crucial role in their ecosystem. They are architects of their landscapes - opening up woodlands as they feed and roam and play a vital part in seed dispersal. In the Maasai Mara National Reserve, WWF has fitted GPS collars on matriarch elephants within each herd to track and securely manage their movements. This will greatly assist effective land management planning and help mitigate human-elephant conflict. #WildlifeCrushWednesday #elephants

Would you support a state constitutional amendment that lets the Legislature avoid increasing funding for school districts?
Asked at Dillons, 1740 Massachusetts Street on January 14, 2013
"Certainly not. It's frustrating to hear about people who work for the people, who are being selfish about doing their job. All I want to do is cuss about it."
"No. I think education is very important. I'd be willing to pay more taxes to support it."
"No. I believe that our school system is lacking in funding to support school activities. They deserve more funds."
" I'd rather not, no. I'd rather they pay more to the schools."

I would vote for an amendment suspending legislator's salaries and/or pensions until they come up with a valid solution for funding the schools.
tomatogrower 3 years, 6 months ago
No way, no how. Wake up people. They are trying to destroy our schools even more than they already have. Think of how much money we would have if we didn't have to have all these standardized tests. They want to force people to pay for private schools or not get any education. No education would be great for them, so they can get people to believe stupid lying emails and Facebook "true stories" or lying "sound bites".
And Western Kansas, seriously? Are you ready to homeschool your kids? Why would a private school open up out there? But you'll vote for it, just like you voted these radical conservatives into office.

Or even 291 executive orders like the most recent former president.
Cant_have_it_both_ways 3 years, 6 months ago
What our Governer is doing is trying to bring some value to the taxpayer as it applies to our schools. The liberals have been in charge of our schools for a long time and, if there is any blame for the disaster our schools are, they, at least, share in our schools demise.
All anyone cares about is getting value for our hard earned cash. Think about it, do your kids learn something if you just keep throwing money at them, or after a period of time change the way you do business with them?
Throwing money at the schools has not worked in the past and there seems to be no reason it will work in the future. Our school administrators appear to care more about facilities and pandering to the NEA than they do our children. It is all about the money. They don't tell you things like how much money the district makes on the school lunch program, or some of the other accounting tricks they use to continue to bilk the taxpayers out of their cash. Or course, if you are a leech and put nothing into the system, then why would you care about how the dollars are spent.
asixbury 3 years, 6 months ago
Liberals have never been in charge of our schools. We briefly had a democratic governor at a point, but not liberal. Nice try.
Cant_have_it_both_ways 3 years, 6 months ago
It has nothing to do with the governor.. it has everything to do with the educational system as a whole, from the top administrators all the way down to the guy that sweeps the floors.
I can not believe that the taxpayers of Kansas want to keep throwing money at the problem and expect different results. The educational system needs to be run like a business putting children and the taxpayer first. Get rid of tenure and move to a performanced based system. Institute a loser pay system for lawsuits, require parents to participate in their childs education and the other things that the current system complains about while saying "Well, thats the way it is".
DRsmith 3 years, 6 months ago
Depends, where does KS rank in funds per student? If we are on the upper end I could see supporting such an amendment.
Cant_have_it_both_ways 3 years, 6 months ago
Again, my friend, it has little to do with funding levels. It has everything to do with the way the system is ran.
Education should be placed in the private sector and moved to a performanced based system. The government does very little well. Education is not one of them.
asixbury 3 years, 6 months ago
A private system would only benefit the wealthy to the determent of the poor. Capitalism only breeds greed. Profit will be the only motivating factor; not the quality of education. Supporters of a private system will say people will bring their business elsewhere if the quality is not up to par. But what about the poorest students who cannot vote with their dollar? A voucher system will only go so far to protect the most vulnerable.

World Series of Poker Adds $1 Million Buy-In Benefit Tournament
The World Series of Poker has added a $1 million buy-in benefit tournament to be included in its 43rd annual event in 2012.
The tournament will benefit One Drop, which fights poverty worldwide by supporting access to water. Commitments to enter have been made by 15 participants including Guy Laliberté, founder of Cirque du Soleil and chairman of the charity; Bobby Baldwin, chief executive officer of CityCenter Holdings LLC, and Phil Ruffin, owner of Treasure Island Resort in Las Vegas.
Baldwin, a four-time gold bracelet winner in past tournaments, will have a chance to add a platinum bracelet to his collection with a win if at least 22 participants enter.
The three-day tournament is expected to begin July 1, 2012, at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, with a maximum of 48 players putting up $1 million each. Organizers said 11 percent of each tournament buy-in would be donated to One Drop, with $889,889 going to the prize pool. ESPN will broadcast the event.
"Since its creation, One Drop has reached out to millions of people to support access to water and raise each and every one's awareness of water-related issues." Laliberté said in a statement. "And today, knowing that one person dies from a water-borne disease every 20 seconds, I urge everyone to do even more."
